Word received from A. L. Moves
Saturday, announced the safe arrival
Of himself and wife at Pasadena,
CAL, Feb. 1st. The letter was writ
ten two days after their arrival and
Mr.. Noyes' asthma troubled him no
more than it did here. He hoped after
becoming acclimated, to find the at
mosphere suited to his disease.
Geo. Sherwin and family of Bur-
lington were in town last week. While
here he put in several electric bells in
Judge Powers house at Morrisville.
George is very skillful in this business
and has executed several fine jobs of
that kind in Burlington, among which
are those Of the Mary Fletcher Hos
pital and the new hotel. He has entire
charge of the District Messenger SER
vice, which, with his other work, keeps
him on the active list.
1t has been generally supposed that
the blowing out OF our sidewalks and
paths after each snow storm, by Frank
Sawyer was done by order of the Sc
lectmen. But we are informed that heis
not so employed. He does the work
of his own accord and no one will
argue but that it should be done. We
believe the town ought to do it just as
much as it breaks out the roads-but
as it does not, the duty falls upon
someone. AS Mr.. Sawyer does the
work voluntarily, it is no argument
that it ought to be done for nothing.
We are sure all who are benefited will
gladly contribute something towards |
paying him for his trouble. We make
this announcement because we have
heard that a paper is to be circulated,
and when it is presented to you, you
will know what it is for-and, more
than all else, that you may have your
change ready for the object. "The
laborer is worthy of his hire"
The winter term at the Academy
closed Tuesday. That it has been
one those who have taken
the pains to ascertain will admit. We
have had occasion to notice the pro-
gress made by the scholars and if any
of the students have failed to be ben
Gifted it has been because they did not
take an interest in their studies. We
believe Prof. Redmond and his assist
ants have labored hard for the success
of the school-and their work has not
been in vain. In looking over the
register we find that there has been a
Of visitors at the Academy, a
large increase over former terms)
which is an indication that the tax
payers have the interest of the school
at heart, Those who have finished
their school days should continue to
be interested in the educational affairs
Of the community in which they reside,
and in no better way can they show
this interest than by occasionally Wis
iting the school-thereby encouraging
both teachers and scholars.
Katie DEMO, the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Preston DEMO, died Sunday |
evening of canker-rash. The child |
was sick only few weeks, but from
the start the disease was of severe
type, and all that the loving parents
and friends could do for her was of no
avail-the death angel claiming her
just as the shadows of the holy day
were thickening. Katie was bright
girl of nine years AND favorite with
her playmates, by whom she will be
greatly missed. She had also endear-
ed herself to many of our older people.
She was a member of the village Sab
bath school and her happy face will be
missed from the circle of little ones of
her own age which is thus broken by
her death. The afflicted parents have
.he sympathy OF all in this terrible
bereavement. The funeral was held
at the house Tuesday afternoon, Rev.
F. E. Healey officiating. AS she lay
in her casket Katie looked indeed like
a child who after day of play had
fallen asleep, a pleasant smile still |
lingering upon her face. We were
reminded of the words of Him who
took the little ones in His arms and |
said "Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven"
